RE: Quiet Thoughts on a Quiet Day... About Quiet and Stillness
I so get you on this one. I too am the one that prefers the quiet, stillness, and often solitude as well. Thanksgiving dinner with the family at another home was so loud that I practically didn't say a word most of the day. I would have rather enjoyed a quiet day with my husband instead. The chaos that people endure on Black Friday always makes me wonder why they would put themselves through that. But, then each to his own. I am with you, listening to my inner peace and thoughts are more important that the business of an average persons day.
That chaotic nature of "Black Friday" just feels to me like it is not only completely missing the point of the entire celebration; it has — in some way — more of less hijacked Thanksgiving by making "consumption" more important than "reflection and gratitude."
But such is the world in which we live, I suppose. I just try to do my part to make it not so.
I so agree, we just kick back and wait for the chaos to slow down and do our best not to judge those that like to partake in it. To each his own. ;-) It was a great article.
Yup! I try to leave the "frantic runners" alone, as much as possible!
